Minas Morgul
Location from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Dead City — once the beautiful Minas Ithil, Tower of the Moon, now a corrupted fortress of the Nazgûl that glows with a sickly corpse-light.
Also known as: Minas Morgul, the Dead City, Minas Ithil, Tower of Sorcery, Tower of the Moon
What They Know
- Minas Morgul was once Minas Ithil — Gondor's Tower of the Moon — before the Nazgûl captured it
- The Witch-king of Angmar is its lord, and the city is his primary base of operations
- The Morgul-road leads past the city and up to Cirith Ungol — the only passage into Mordor not through the Black Gate
- The corpse-light of the city is visible from Minas Tirith on clear nights, a constant reminder of what was lost
